‘Here gather daily those young eaglets of glory’: Robert Louis Stevenson, the Savile Club and the Suicide Club by Robert-Louis Abrahamson

“…Robert Louis Stevenson, one of these young men of promise, relished the social opportunities of the club, especially the company of fellow bohemians but was also aware of the limitations of the club, and its potential for complacency and false posturing. His novella ‘The Suicide Club’, depicting a club similar to the Savile, satirises the artificiality of the club, and of all such clubs, and of the superficial respectability of the members’ bohemian pretensions, which shelter the ‘gentlemen’ from a genuine and fulfilling engagement in the battlefield of life.…”

The musical magic of ambiguity in Benjamin Britten’s <i>Death in Venice</i> by B.M. Spies

“…This essay investigates the blurred musical significations in Benjamin Britten’s Death in Venice, an opera based on Thomas Mann’s important novella Der Tod in Venedig. The discussion of multiple meanings links up with two categories of ambiguity as set out by William Empson in his Seven Types of Ambiguity, that is two or more meanings which do not agree among themselves, but combine to make clear a more complicated state of mind, and two opposite meanings that show a fundamental division in the mind of the protagonist. …”
